Christian Dayton Clemenson (born March 17, 1958)〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/christian-clemenson/bio/144587 )〕 is an American film and television actor. He is well known for his portrayal of Jerry "Hands" Espenson in the television series ''Boston Legal'', for which he won the 2006 Emmy Award for Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series.〔 He appeared in a tense scene with Holly Hunter in the 1987 film ''Broadcast News'', as a newsroom editor. ==Early life== Clemenson was born and raised in Humboldt, Iowa, the son of drug store owners Ruth Alzora (Dayton) and Ernest Arnold Clemenson.〔 In his early teens, he delivered the Des Moines Register, which had a long tradition of awarding scholarships to top east-coast preparatory schools to a select few "paper boys". Clemenson, a straight-A junior high school student, won a Register scholarship to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts.〔"Prep School Scholarship Winners." ''Des Moines Register'', May 14, 1972, at 11-F.〕 In 1973, while Chris was enrolled at Phillips Academy, his father died at age 58.〔Obituary of Ernest Clemenson, ''Des Moines Register'', September 25, 1973, at 3-S.〕 He participated in many theatrical productions at Phillips Academy. Upon graduation from Phillips in 1976, he entered Harvard College. From his freshman year onward he received important roles in campus stage productions, often receiving more praise from critics than the productions received. When Clemenson starred in a Harvard Lampoon sketch comedy show, a Harvard Crimson theatre critic panned the show but described Clemenson as "hugely talented actor who can trigger hysteria with any of a dozen subtle expressions or inflections."〔Paul A. Attanasio, ("Dissertation on Roast Pig, )" ''The Harvard Crimson'', October 15, 1979.〕 Other Crimson critics described his performances in Shakespeare plays as "a tour de force of sheer talent and intelligence" (in ''The Winter's Tale'')〔Esme Murphy, ("The Sad Tale's Best," ) ''The Harvard Crimson'', December 10, 1979.〕 and "a very fine and subtle performance" (in ''Measure for Measure'').〔Thomas Hines, ("A Good Measure," ) ''The Harvard Crimson'', July 7, 1981.〕 He displayed early on his remarkable range when he undertook with inimitable flair and hilarious effect the hugely solemn role of Erde "the green-faced torso", goddess of the Earth, in Peter Sellers's Loeb Drama Center production of "Wagner's Ring" (1979). During many summers he would return to Humboldt to star in, and later direct, local community theatre plays at Humboldt's Castle Theatre. After graduating from Harvard College in 1980 and the Yale School of Drama in 1984, he moved to Los Angeles.〔 Clemenson and fellow Boston Legal star James Spader are old friends from Phillips Academy days. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christian Clemenson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
